 I GOT THIS IT IS VERY NICE September 6, 2008
i got this camera a year ago and its still working to this day i use it almost everyday.... one thing i love abot this is that it uses a memory stick for its memory and if u have a psp u can just put the memory stick in there and view ur videos or pics without downloading anything... the handstrap that comes with the camera is also very usefull its comfortable and doesnt feel cheap... as for the camera itself its nice small easy to navigate and its incredibly small for a videocamera and the battery lasts for a long time. the video quality is not the best.... and its not the cheapest its DECENT its gud enough, lets say that
now the only downsides are....
recording at night, does not work all that well in low lighted areas..... u cant get an extra battery for it... the battery indicator sometimes isnt very accurate but that really isnt a problem unless u are going to use ur camera for long period of time wiht out charging
overall the camera is GREAT for the price i got mine which was $100(but did not get it on amazon) dont spend over 200 on this camera...... :)
 Convenient but low video quality July 21, 2008
This is a convenient camcorder with its size the ease of use, though need a little time to figure out how selection button works. The video quality is not good, but uploading to Youtube is fun and easy. Overall, I like it, except the blurry video quality.
 Nice June 25, 2008
It takes great pictures but the video is not all that good but its a nice little gadget.
Sony NSCGC1 June 16, 2008
I never have been a video recording nut. My wife and I take ballroom dance classes from Parks & Rec, but while we can do quite well during classes, only a few weeks later we have forgotten what we learned. Using this to record what we learned while at our last class provides us with a great visual 'review' to remind us just before we go out dancing! For a minimal investment, this has served us very, very well.
 The jury is still out... May 19, 2008
I have shot news professionally and still own a broadcast Betacam and my faithful Canon GL 1 mini DV camera.
I bought this camera as a Sony-refurbished play-thing with MPEG-4 technology.
I also was told that is should be seen by newer Macs with the latest iLife software as an AVCHD camcorder. My iBook is 7 years old so when I fire up my Mac Mini - I will have a better idea on IF it will work with iMovie or not.
This camera reminds of some low light and compact Sony Hi8 cameras of 15-18 years ago. No zoom but some had a tele lens switchable to a fairly wide and fast normal lens. I would not put "the glass" on this camera in the same league as the afore-mentioned camera series.
After shooting in daylight and at dusk with this camera - this has to be a "bright daylight use camera". I recommend a small sturdy tripod for it. There is supposed to be some minimalist stability when using the video side but --- use a tripod.
The zoom is not designed to be used when filming - it jerks.
The camera has problems around engines - car, motorcycle or diesel train engines and picks up microphonics or noise in the video. I am a train buff and tested this on some METRA train run-bys and even at 40 feet away - the video jittered. More so when talking to a friend on his Harley.
Setting all of the many camera settings can be a pain - my purpose was for web based stuff - am going to the Indy 500 and was going to throw this baby in with my other stills gear for shots on "Gasoline Alley" - not the race.
So I am still putzing around with this thing.
The wonderful Sony memory cards are great but very pricy. IF you buy this camera - buy another makers' card. It should be cheaper.
A good thing? The stills camera side is not bad in the headshot mode - did not take any tele shots with it.
Lastly - is this a good kid's camera? Yep - to play with and try shooting YouTube home movies.
But if your kids or grads are more serious - buy a Sony/JVC/Canon/Panasonic mini dv camera or SD card camera...
